If you are referring to Macrium is it the Free version? If it is, Macrium will tell you that there is no Support for the Free product but will provide you with their operation manual/instructions.

(I think this is a generous response from them.)

I know because I had the same problem a few weeks back. It seems that I didn't carry out a pre-installation task to set up a special folder. I'm working on it at the moment.

 

in my ethernet private network of windows 10 systems (build 16229.98), one system does not show up (e.g. with File Explorer, under Network)

Follow the guide I gave to restore the image, browsing into that folder until it picks up the .vhd file for each System partition.

But for a more flexible app that doesn't require backing up to the same position on disk, I prefer free Macrium:

If you have already made the usb and/or dvd Macrium Reflect boot, boot it, pick the image and restore it. If you haven't, install Macrium Reflect, then make the usb and/or dvd MR boot.

 

well i tried the Macrium and was not able to continue the total size of the macrium was just under 300 mb so i was a little leary of that but it did have a .wim file for later more than 200 mb.

also noticed that i bought the laptop in feb/mar time frame and that the restore to new in the box was 1511 so did the update get picked up when i activated the laptop. im sure the unit was on the shelf for quite a while? maybe?

also ran SFC and all checked out good so maybe this was a good thing waiting on redstone for any major changes.

many thanks not solved but its ok
